What two numbers multiply to -701 and add up to 700?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -701 and add up to 700?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 701

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 701 multiply to -701 and add up to 700:

-1 × 701 = -701
-1 + 701 = 700

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 700x - 701 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x - 1 ) (x + 701)

To summarize, since -1 and 701 multiply to -701 and add up 700, you know that the following is true:

x² + 700x - 701 = (x - 1 ) (x + 701)
